Sherlock fic: First Drafts: The Sequel
Title: First Drafts... or How it Could Have Started: The Sequel
Characters: Sherlock, John, Moriarty, etc.
Rating: PG
Spoilers: Series 1
Summary: A fusion of famous opening lines of novels.
A/N: Please excuse what I've done to these classic works of literature; it's just for fun, honest! See bottom for list of stories used.
Disclaimer: I do not own Sherlock or any of it's characters. Nor do I own the books from which I borrowed these scenarios.
1) Mad as a Hatter
John was beginning to get very tired of sitting across from his psychiatrist in her office, and of having no progress: once or twice he had peeped at the notes his psychiatrist was writing, but it had no suggestions or solutions in it, 'and what is the use of a psychiatrist', thought John, 'without suggestions or solutions?'
2) Never Grows Old
Sherlock Holmes - for there could be no doubt of his person, though his of-the-time fashion did something to disguise it - was in the act of whipping at the body of a corpse which lay in the morgue.
3) 2010
It was a bright brisk day in January, and the clocks were striking thirteen. Sherlock Holmes, his scarf wrapped around his neck in an effort to escape the vile wind, slipped effortlessly through the doors of 221b Baker Street, though not quickly enough to prevent his limping acquaintance from entering too long after him.
4) The Doctor, the Detective, and the Crime Scene
There was a consulting detective named Sherlock Holmes, and he almost deserved it. His family called him Sherlock and acquaintances called him Freak. I can’t tell you how his friends spoke to him, for he had none.
5) Write to Dear Jim
Dear Jim of the London-Syndicate (Are you in trouble?-Do you need to disappear to South America?-Write to Dear Jim and he will help you) stood in the shadows behind the pool area’s wall and stared at the consulting detective.
